Tribal Development and Security

Tribal regions often overlap with Left Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected areas, where underdevelopment, displacement, and governance gaps have fuelled alienation and insurgency. A development-led security approach is central to stabilising these regions.

Addressing Displacement and Alienation

  • Land and Resource Conflicts: Mining, dams, and infrastructure projects have led to displacement without adequate rehabilitation, creating distrust toward the state.
    • Weak implementation of the Forest Rights Act, 2006 has aggravated grievances.
  • Loss of Livelihood and Identity: Disruption of forest-based economies undermines traditional livelihoods.
    • Cultural alienation fosters support for extremist narratives.
  • Governance Deficits: Limited access to healthcare, education, and administration leads to state absence perception.
